The output of the factories in
the South brings $2,690,000,000
annually, but of this amount
Texas factories yield only a
small per cent. With every fa-
cility for m; nufacturing and
cheap fuel in abundance and an
administration that is favorable
to the development of the stated
resources, the building of fac-
tories in Texas is expected to be
a prominent feature of the state’s
development during the next
four years.

to leave valuable machinery out
in tiie weather or the plows and
harrows caked over with earth

and many surgeons at the present

material for a buried suture Is cat-
gut, and that silk should never be
employed except for skin sutures.
In tills, as in so many other points,

It Is certntn that millions of silk su-
tures have been Inserted In the deep l
tissue, and have not cut their way ;
out, for If a suture does make Its way I

because It was septic.
